This Unknown AI Model is Shockingly Good

The speaker discusses a newly released AI model called Trinity Large Thinking from a previously unknown company called RC. This open-source model, released under Apache 2.0 license by an American company, shows competitive performance against established models including Claude Opus 4.6, Kimi K2.5, GLM5, and Minimax M2.7 in benchmark comparisons. The model demonstrates capabilities in coding tasks, creating games like Snake, and performing what appears to be agentic work through multiple automated steps, though the speaker questions whether the demonstrated coding speed is real-time. The speaker expresses frustration with the challenge of meaningfully evaluating new AI models, noting that most current models already adequately handle typical business and personal use cases that matter to everyday users. They express interest in developing a custom benchmark focused on practical, real-world applications rather than academic metrics, and invite collaboration from their audience to create better testing methods for evaluating large language models as they are released.
